When it comes to a food lover, there’s always a thrill in finding something rare, special, or remarkable in the world of gourmet foods. With this extravagant gift box, we've picked out some of our favorite, knock-your-socks-off cheeses, cured meats, oils and accouterments. This gift box includes:
- Papillon Organic Extra Virgin Olive OilPapillon is a cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, with a low acidity at 0.23% (normally 0.8% for extra virgin olive oil) which gives it a very fruity taste, neither spicy or bitter, with notes of apple, artichoke and almond. (500 ml)
- La Guinette by Mademoiselle de Margaux (9 Piece): "La Guinette", cherries soaked in Armagnac and enrobed in dark chocolate, were a Sofi Silver Finalist for the Outstanding Gift Award. (3.9 oz)
- Trufa Seca Salami by Charlitos Cocina: This deliciously sensual incarnation of cured goodness will surely arouse your senses. Seasoned with black truffles and mineral rich sea salt, Trufa Seca is a striking example of how a few excellent ingredients can produce a world unto itself of complexity. Made with pasture raised, heritage breed pork. (6 oz)
- Jamon Iberico by Fermin: Popularly known as the Pata Negra or Black Hoof, the Iberico roots for wild herbs, fallen acorns, and edible roots. The resulting meat is swirled with high levels of flavorful natural fats, for which this pig has gained notoriety. (2 oz)
- Salami Barolo by Creminelli: There are a lot of famous wines from Italy, but none of them are as respected as the Piedmont's most famous red: Barolo. The richness of the Barolo lingers in this already robustly flavored artisan salami creating a truly complex, bursting flavor that is difficult to replicate and impossible to forget. (7 oz)
- Bayley Hazen Blue by Jasper Hill Farm: The paste of a Bayley Hazen is drier than most blues and the penicillium roqueforti takes a back seat to an array of flavors that hint at nuts and grasses and in the odd batch, licorice. Though drier and crumblier than most blues, its texture reminds one of chocolate and butter. (7.5 oz)
- Caciottona Capra al Fieno by Perenzin: The outside of this Italian goat’s milk cheese is coated with fresh hay grown near the cheese factory, giving the cheese a delicious grassy scent and unique sweet aroma. (7.5 oz)

- Carmody by Bellwether Farms: Cheesemaker Liam Callahan began working on this California cheese by using a pecorino recipe as a starting point and making changes in response to the flavors and texture of the cheese from his farm’s cows. Carmody is meant to highlight the buttery flavors of Jersey milk. (7.5 oz)
